According to Football London, Tottenham could resurrect their interest in Adama Traore if Barcelona take Raphinha away from Leeds.
What’s the story?
Well, the transfer saga involving Spurs and the Spaniard isn’t over yet.
Football London believe the £18m man’s future is in doubt after Barcelona submitted a bid for Raphinha.
Traore is on loan at the Camp Nou, and while Barcelona have an option to buy the rapid winger, it is believed they’re now reluctant to do so.
It’s not only down to Raphinha. Xavi has also handed Ousmane Dembele another chance in Catalonia, and the Frenchman has taken it with both hands.
The Barcelona No.11 has provided seven assists in his last five La Liga games, including two in the 4-0 win over Real Madrid.
In contrast, Traore has been left out, as Xavi gave him just ten minutes against Real Madrid.
Tottenham must sign Adama Traore if Raphinha leaves Leeds
In our view, Traore is the ideal option for Antonio Conte at right wing-back.
Football London believe that’s where the Italian would play the Spain international, and we feel it would work well.
Traore possesses ridiculous speed, stamina and dribbling skills, and is capable of getting from one end of the pitch to the other in seconds.
Even if he failed to deliver in the final third, his presence frightens defenders who find themselves drawn to him, which would free up space for the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son.
Keep an eye on this saga, as a lot depends on Barcelona and their pursuit of Raphinha.
